WILFRIED NANCY
“That’s the story with this team. It was the first home game, we were stressed, but in the end we finished the game like that. The players showed resilience today. Today we had tough moments and we were able to bounce back. With the four goals allowed, the players found what it takes in their bodies to score five. People that were here today were able to see what kind of emotions we want to give. As a coach, that’s why we do this job. We played with many systems today. Tactically, I’m happy with this game. The players were able to answer from what I wanted to put in place.”

“I’m a bit disappointed to have allowed four goals, but we can be happy with the character we showed to come back and win the game. We will use this result for the rest of the season. It was a good night for our fans. It was the first one in front of them and they helped a lot. It’s great to have them back.”
MASON TOYE
“It was the craziest game I have ever been part of, not even close. The fans were unbelievable. We can only think about what a full stadium sounds like. We don’t like conceding four goals and having to score five to win, but it speaks to our resilience. We do not give up. We got three points so we move on and think about Wednesday. I’m playing in a team full of amazing players and great coaches.”
